You know, with there being so many foreclosures and people on the verge of losing their homes, my husband and I decided that it just might be a good time to check into a summer home with Wilmington NC real estate. My parents live at the coast about 40 miles south of Wilmington and we love it anywhere along the coast there.  We have thought about getting a place in that area for the past 4 or 5 years but just haven’t taken the time before now.  Yeah, I think now is the time.

Well it seems the trips are on hold.  I just got a call from my husband letting me know that we are having to have a new roof put on the house.  With all the rain lately, it seems we have sprung a couple leaks.  I’m not sure how long that roof has been on but that doesn’t matter much right now.  What does matter is we have to have a new roof.

The last thing we need is for mold to creep in and then have to call someone to get rid of the mold.  There are several good companies locally that do roofing and also some that do mold removal just in case we need them.  I sure hope we don’t need mold removal but it’s better to have a professional remove it than to try and do it ourselves and only have it come back in a week or two and us not realize it.

With that said, my trip is put off until later.  Oh well, maybe a nice Christmas cruise would be nice.  We’ll just have to wait and see how the funds hold out after the home repairs are done.

Reno sounds good but I’m also checking into cruises.  I can see myself stretched out on the deck chairs, soaking up the sun, listening to the water rushing under the cruise ship and enjoying the peace I always feel when I’m on the water.  You know, I think that would do me more good than going to Reno.  Who knows, I just might do both while I have the time off. 

Life has just kind of closed in on me lately with my sister and everything but she’s doing better now.  I’m thinking about checking out some reno hotels and just having some fun for a few days.  Why not?  I feel that I have earned a break and I sure need one.  Who knows, I could even win the money back in one of the casinos.  It could happen!!!  Maybe!!!!

Where did this summer go?  I swear it seems like just yesterday school got out and now the kids are out buying school supplies and getting ready to go back to school.  I’m not so sure I’m ready for all that.  Oh well, ready or not, here it comes.
